Sky Changelog Notifier enhances WordPress automatic update notification emails by including the actual changelog for each updated plugin or theme. This keeps you informed about what changed in each update without having to visit the WordPress.org repository.

Key Features:

Automatically fetches and includes changelogs in update notification emails
Works with both plugin and theme updates
Adds emoji indicators (✅🚀❌) to plugin details modal showing version status
Fetches from tagged versions for accuracy, with automatic fallback to trunk
Comprehensive caching for optimal performance
WP-CLI support for testing
Full compatibility with Easy Updates Manager (EUM) and other notification plugins
Locale-agnostic email insertion — works on any localized WordPress site

How It Works:

When WordPress automatically updates plugins or themes, this plugin:

Fetches the changelog from the plugin/theme’s readme.txt file
Extracts the specific version’s changelog
Appends it to the update notification email
Caches results for 1 hour to improve performance

Plugin Modal Enhancement:

When viewing plugin details in the WordPress admin, you’ll see:
* ✅ Green checkmark – Your version matches the latest
* 🚀 Rocket – You’re ahead (development version)
* ❌ Red X – Update available

Compatibility:

Works seamlessly with:
* Easy Updates Manager
* Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades
* Other update management plugins
* Uses high priority (999) on standard WordPress filters
* Hooks into automatic_updates_complete for EUM and similar plugins that bypass WordPress email filters
* Locale-agnostic insertion using structural markers instead of translatable strings

Development

Instal·lació

Upload the sky-changelog-notifier folder to /wp-content/plugins/
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
That’s it! The plugin works automatically

PMF

Does this work with manual updates?

No, this plugin only enhances automatic update notification emails. Manual updates don’t trigger these emails.

Can I test if it’s working?

Yes! Use the built-in testing feature:
* Web: /wp-admin/?test_changelog_retrieval&_wpnonce=<nonce> (generate nonce with action sky_changelog_notifier_test)
* WP-CLI: wp changelog akismet 5.3 plugin

Is it compatible with other plugins?

Yes! It’s fully compatible with:
* Easy Updates Manager – for managing automatic updates
* Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades – for manual ZIP uploads
* Other update management plugins

The plugin uses high priority (999) on filters to ensure compatibility.

Does it slow down my site?

No. All changelog fetches are cached for 1 hour, and the plugin only runs during automatic updates.

Registre de canvis

3.1.0

NEW: Full Easy Updates Manager compatibility — changelogs now appear in EUM emails via automatic_updates_complete hook and wp_mail filter
